thereof so that the device may be hung upon a nail, hook, or the like. The scraper is fixed to the shank preferably by slitting the end of the shank to. receive the thickness of the sheet and utilizing a screw ('9), which passes throu h an openlng made to receive and Scraper, of which the following is a it in the thic ness of the scraper so that the specification.

' My invention relates to a combined brush l0 and scraper and has reference more particularly to a device for scraping and other- .wise cleaning refrigerators, gas ranges,-

stoves, coolers, kitchen cabinets, pots, pans,

bath tubs, basins, sinks, screens, and other l6 objects as occasion arises.

The prima object of my invention is to provide a com ined brush andscraper which will reach any corners or edges of any of the above or other objects, and efi'ectively scrape ofi all accumulated grease, dirt, or the like.

A further object of my invention is to so construct the combined brush and scraper that it may be made very cheaply, sold at a nominal cost to the user, and capable of 2a withstanding hard use without sharpening or otherwise repairing the same.

My invention possesses other objects which will appear as the description now roceeds with reference to the accompany-- mg drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the combined brush and scraper, and Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same.

Referring now to the drawing in detail A re resents a brush having the customary bristles (5) in the head B thereof, and with the opposite end ofithe brush terminating in atapered and relatively narrow shank C. The head B is curved as best shown in Figure 2 so that the block in which the bristles are imbedded, including the shank, will provide a convenient hand grip as best shown in Figure 1.

. Fixed to the end of the shank O is' a scra er 7) the same comprising a relatively sma l, irregularly cut sheet of metal, having an opening (8) preferably in the center threaded end of the screw may be'imbedded in the shank as best shownin Figure 2. The imbedded end of the scraper has a pointed tongue (9') so as to hold the scraper steady.

V The scraper includesthree scraping edges, the edge (10) bein semi-circular and the other two edges (11$ and (12) respectively, being straight edges. The straight edge (11) iscut at an obtuse angle to the edge pointed (12) so as to leave a relatively sharp h t e two corner (13) at the meeting ends 0 edges.

The three cutting edges thus provided leave the scraper capable of accommodatin'g itself to most any angular corner or rounded surface that will need ,tobe cleaned in ordinary householdkitchen equipment.

The bristles (5) instead of being positioned in the head B maybe continued along the shank if desirable.

I claim:

In a brush, a hand grip and a scraper fixed to the end of the hand grip, said scraper having three scraping edges, one edge being semi-circular and the other two being straight edges, one of the straight edges being out at an obtuse angle to the other straight edge and extending inwardly toward one side of said hand grip to leave a relatively shar pointed corner at the meeting ends of t e two edges, the grip having one end kerfed and receiving said scraper and said scra er being provided with a pointed projection which is driven.

in the grip axially thereof and a single fastening device securing the scraper to said gri and serving to hold said projection in sai grip and the blade against rocking thereon.
